STOP! Yammer time. 🍠

Hey @bridget33 that does feel like ages away, my wait time was 2-3 months from gp referral but I know it always varies. When we looked into private ivf there was zero wait time- if we’d needed further tests (we’d already had everything required done) they would have done it immediately depending on my cycle. But it does all add up- approx £150 for SA, and then £150 upwards for each test you require too.
Best of luck deciding how you want to proceed 💐

Hu yeammers, I just called gynaecology to see how long my referral will take and they predict I'll be seen in September/ October time...feels like an age away. Has anyone gone private and have any idea on prices? X

Looking Ah maybe it was just exceptionally hot last year! I remember it was beautiful. I think I may have to have a look at going back next year too x

@DoAsDreamersDo. It gets surprisingly hot! We we're there last June during a heatwave and it was about 38c!!

Ooh I loved DisneyLand Paris. We were there about this time last year and it was lovely and hot (so it felt quite similar to Orlando).

😂 @looking I bet Disney cupcakes are gooooood!!

@HidCat. Hmm, all this ttc stuff puts a hold on everything!

@LexieJean. That sounds so good 😭 I miss sugar! I have found myself literally fantasizing about chocolate. I was watching Disneyland YouTube videos with my DD and I was like "Man I'm going to eat that" "Ooh! Look at those cupcakes" 😂

I have basically only eaten sugary things today and promptly felt exhausted and dizzy in my yoga class. I need to start my new job soon so I stop boredom eating!!!

I've never been, but I'd love to take my DS. I loved going to France and I've never been to Paris so it's a bit of a bucket list thing.

@HidCat. We are going to Paris, I don't want to risk getting zika, I wouldn't want my Dd's to get it either. I don't mind though, I love the country and the language. Some people look down on the Paris one and I never understand why, it's lovely.

@LookingAtTheStars89 I do love a Disney trip! Which one are you going too? Hubby is desperate to go back to Florida but I've said we need to know where we are baby wise first.

@Chooklass. Yeah I fell off too lol and it made me feel bad so I got back on. My skin has cleared up nicely since. I have to lose some weight. Fingers crossed for you!

Yes, I'm a Disney fanatic, this will be my sixth time My parents are coming this time which will be nice, my DD (5) adores my Dad and he her so she will probably spent most of her time being piggy backed around the park

Well done on the low sugar @LookingAtTheStars89 ! I fell of the wagon a bit a few weeks ago but back on it now. I missed my clear skin but it's nearly fixed again. Disneyland trip will be a great treat to look forward to!

I'm 8dpo and starting to get the constant urge to poas! Aargh! How long can I resist? Hate this game.

@WonkyDonk87. Just catching up! Congratulations! :-)

Cd29 here, FP probably not due for another week or so yet.

I've been off sugar for the last week & a bit, I started to think it might be hindering things. DH is helping me this time by cutting it out too. I did another DIY progesterone test yesterday so I should find out later today or early tomorrow whether I've ovulated.

We've decided that we are giving it until Oct & then using rain coats again until next August when we go to Disneyland for my 30th. I need that to look forward to & if I got pregnant before that then I wouldn't feel able to do anything whilst we were there. I don't mind taking a new born if we get lucky bit I wouldn't want to chance it whilst pregnant.

Checking in! I have had a smily on an ovulation test this morning so think I'll ovulate today or tomorrow (cd 16/17). Am worried my luteal phase is too short - I am due FP in 10 days so am going to try vitamin b6 for the rest of my cycle. I have used it before but started having a weird tingling sensation in my hands...Am so tempted to try yams as well! Should be getting the test results back for DH second SA tomorrow as well...eek. Congrats to those with bfps! Such fab news x

Welcome @running5!

Great info on the spots yammers, thank you. I’m always happy to try something that might appease my skin and reduce my acne.

In symptom spotting news I’m eating everything in sight so I must be greedy pg right?

Welcome @justkeeprunning5

Thanks for all the spot tips ladies, will smother my chin in Savlon tonight as I do have some of that in. I have also got a green primer; it's a shame chins are so prominent, never feel as though I can disguise it that well

Welcome @justkeeprunning5 - you'll find plenty of support and laughs here!

Hi All,

I would like to join if that is ok. I have been watching this thread for some time but never actually posted.

Marred a few years now and TTC most of that time but more timed (!) over the past year. Had an op last year on a ovarian cyst which was removed without problems but they also found some endo... removed then and there and thankfully my tubes / ovaries were clear but of course I believed what they said about being most fertile in 6 months that followed... each month a little more heartbroken and coming to the realisation that there maybe something really wrong.

Age 33
TTC #1
Cycle #lost count

Due to the nature of the op I had some hormone tests that said I had a healthy hormone profile and my ovulation tests always show a high reading on / around CD 11.

Have a doctors appointment in a few weeks. Not sure what to expect.

Sorry this is such a long post.

Almost certainly fairy

Haven't been on here in bloody ages, but do follow the thread - just wanted to say a big fat congrats to silver and wonky. Know it's early yet, but amazing news - all the very best to you xxx

Does anyone know if Swiss cheese brain is a symptom? I just can't seem to focus or use my common sense at all today

I believe so @nearlysummer2018

Random question... does anyone know if conceive plus works as a lube and not kill swimmers?
